Every revolution aims to create a place that has yet to exist. #Egypt must know if we want to create a nation of “dignity” & “social justice” as our revolution demanded, we must rise up against anti-Blackness. The Black-led revolution in the US is an urgent call. #BlackSpring

Racism is fatal in #Egypt. In December 2005, #Egyptian riot police killed at least 23 unarmed Sudanese refugees, including small children, who had occupied a public park in front of a United Nations office for three months. #BlackLivesMatter

In 1990/1, when I still lived in #Egypt, Spike Lee came to #Egypt to film Malcolm X. I spent a couple of days on set, met Spike and talked to many involved with the film. A Black American man and a Sierra Leonean told me of racist attacks they’d been subjected to in Cairo.

Soon after I wrote this for the NYT, calling Trump the American Sisi (L), a pro-regime newspaper in #Egypt “punished” me by putting my picture on the front page under a banner headline that called me a “sex activist” (translation: whore). (R) I was living in #Cairo. http://picnano.com/tweet/gpnwQSFHhX

I was a contributing oped writer for NYT 2014-2018. I wrote opeds for them while I lived in #Egypt that personally endangered me with the #Egyptian regime. Last time I spoke w/opinion page editor Jim Bennet he asked me to stop saying “Fuck” on social media for the readers’ sake.
